Sell with KCG

KCG proudly partners with local producers who share our commitment to quality, transparency, and strengthening our regional food system. We’re building a thoughtful, structured retail model designed to support small businesses and serve our community with integrity.

If you’re interested in working with us, we’d love to hear from you. Please review the information below and submit an application when you’re ready. 

Our Consignment Model

KCG operates on a 70/30 consignment split:

  • Producers retain 70% of the retail price of items sold

  • KCG retains 30% to cover staffing, facilities, marketing, and operational costs

  • Producers retain ownership of product until it sells

  • Payments are based on recorded sales

Learn more about the consigment model and its benefits in the slideshow below. A shelf fee may apply based on product volume, number of SKUs, or space utilization. Details are discussed during onboarding. Need to confirm with board. 

Geographic Focus

We prioritize producers within a 150-mile radius of Kennett Square, PA, with preference given to Chester County and surrounding communities.

Standards and Expectations

Animal Welfare

We prioritize pasture-raised, grass-fed, and outdoor-based animal systems. Transparency in production practices is essential.

Ingredient Sourcing

Local ingredients are encouraged whenever possible. For products that rely on non-local ingredients (such as coffee), responsible sourcing and transparency are required.

Packaging & Labeling

  • Products must be properly packaged, sealed, and legally labeled

  • Items must be clearly identifiable for point-of-sale tracking

  • Producers may provide UPC/barcodes

  • If needed, KCG will assign internal product codes

  • Scannable codes are encouraged to support efficient checkout and accurate inventory tracking

Production & Reliability

Producers must demonstrate consistent availability appropriate to their category. Delivery frequency varies by product type. Clear communication regarding availability, seasonal changes, or supply disruptions is required.

Pricing

We welcome premium-quality products while maintaining a balanced product mix to ensure our store remains accessible to our community.
